Man, the holidays really snuck up on us! Or was that just me since I've been in a "newborn fog" for the past three months? Either way, it's officially holiday time around our house. Partly, that's because our annual Koenig Holiday Party and White "Donkey" (we avoid elephants in our house, if possible) Gift Exchange is next weekend. That means we had one weekend between Thanksgiving and our party to get the house in tip-top shape. And, this year we decided to take advantage of our location near the mountains. We traveled to a tree farm, trampled around to find our perfect tree, and cut it down ourselves. Ok, really, Dave cut it down -- Carter and I watched. We are really looking forward to the next few years when Carter can play more of an active role. The next day, we decorated the house and our tree. Today, I've been a baking frenzy (cookies and candy galore)...I work all this week and will be out of town on Thursday and Friday for a staff workshop in Ventura. Can we possibly pack more into one week?!? Thank god Baba and Papa are coming into town to help us out! You can bet there will be post-party pics to share, too.
